The National Rheumatology Board is responsible for postgraduate formation in rheumatology. Herein we present the new criteria for accreditation of teaching units. These criterion contemplate four domains, namely: structure, clinical work, teaching and research. Each domain is divided in subdomains and items. Some of them are of an obligatory nature. This document serves as reference for future applications. The document may be reviewed in the future.

Evaluation of Selected Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Adipokines in Colostrum from Mothers with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Division of Chemistry and Immunochemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Immunochemistry, Wroclaw Medical University, M. Skłodowskiej-Curie 48/50, 50-369 Wroclaw, Poland.

Adipokines related to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are an emerging area of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between GDM and adipokine levels in human milk. This was an observational cohort study targeting mothers with gestational diabetes, which evaluated the association of maternal hyperglycemia severity, classified as GDM-G1 (diet treatment) and GDM-G2 (insulin treatment), with colostral adipokines involved in pro- and anti-inflammatory processes.

Metabolic enhancement contributed by horizontal gene transfer is essential for dietary specialization in leaf beetles.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering, School of Life Sciences, Hubei University, Wuhan 430062, China.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria to insects is widely reported and often associated with the adaptation and diversification of insects. However, compelling evidence demonstrating how HGT-conferred metabolic adjustments enable species to adapt to surrounding environment remains scarce. Dietary specialization is an important ecological strategy adopted by animals to reduce inter- and intraspecific competition for limited resources.
